Two Log Cabins, 6 plus acres, a cascading waterfall, a clear pond, a quiet walk, tall trees, fresh air, a simple moment in time, all wrapped up in the mountain tops of the NC High Country.

The Cabins of Sugar Grove invite you to plan your escape. Our cabins are 2BR/2Bath along with spacious lofts that have high quality futons. We've thought of everything..........

Bring your favorite book or borrow one of ours. Take a walk, take a deep breath, take a minute to remember or to forget......

Spend twilight among the trees, spend an evening under the stars & around a campfire or curl up on a sofa with a blanket and enjoy a movie from our collection.

Only don't miss this moment.

'Dear Future Guests,

As one of the most secluded and magical cabins of my time, it is with great joy that I announce how successful this weekend was. I truly enjoyed allowing Andy and Kelly to visit, opening my spacious bedrooms, luxorious hot tub, mystical hiking trails, and true peacefulness that comes with quiet solitude. Over the years now, my excitement at seeing these things never tires.

So now, as you step through my front door, I hope you realize what awaits you! From wherever you come, and whatever you left behind....it will be infinitely more difficult to return.'

    Absolutely loved the property! It was very secluded ( which was a plus) and we enjoyed the scenery! It was nice to get away and relax for a few days and this was just the spot to do it. Glad we picked this place.

    Perfect for a quiet getaway! The loft and upstairs room is great for kids. Short drive into town and nearby trails. There is creek access but the rainy weather made it a challenge to get down. The pond was accessible and had a few frogs. Would be a nice property for a few families to stay together. Host was responsive for any questions. Grab firewood on your way!

    Second time staying here and we will continue to come back. It’s perfect for our family of four. Kids love being in the loft. Hot tub is amazing. They have thought of all the little details. The grounds are beautiful, short walk is a waterfall and a pond. The cabin is far away enough for a peaceful retreat but close enough to be in banner elk in less than 30 minutes. Make sure you have 4WD if there is any kind of snow and take the roads they suggest. It’s a winding road up the mountain but so worth it. We can’t wait to be back!

    We were looking for a quiet cabin in the woods, and this was exactly what we were looking for and more! The host was communicative, the cabin was clean and cozy, and the fire place hot tub were wonderful. The location was also great - it was the perfect balance of feeling tucked away while also being close to town. We enjoyed our stay and hope to be back soon!

    This was our second stay in this home and we hope to return next year. It was clean, inviting, comfortable, and well-appointed. So much so that we spent most of our time hanging out at the cabin rather than the usual touristy things though we did do some of that as well.

    This is a beautiful secluded cabin. Very nicely decorated. We had a great time just relaxing on the porch swing, hanging out in the hot tub and we spent a few hours around the fire ring. The nearby town of Banner Elk is a very nice place to visit, and we had two delicious meals there. Thank you for letting us rent your cabin !

    We brought our children on a summer vacation to experience the beauty of the mountains. We live near the coast.We loved the incadescent beauty of Bearclaw Cabin. We felt renewed and we enjoyed hiking and the lovely pond onsite. We enjoyed our time at Tweesie Railroad, Grandfather Mountain and Mystery Hill. We also enjoyed local shopping at Apple Hill Store, downtown Banner Elk and downtown Boone.Furthermore, we all gathered around the campfire at night, told ghost stories, roasted marshmallows and made S'mores.Additionally, we swam at Laurel Creek Falls and enjoyed the majestic beauty of the waterfall.We would LOVE to return to Bearclaw cabin one day!

    Up and down and all around. I never thought we would get there but, well worth the wait. This property has everything you'll need. We walked around, and went to the waterfall on property. We played in the creek by the pond. We even found some great rocks. The alpine coaster was super fun for everyone. We went gem mining and had a blast. Wish we could have stayed longer but this was a 3 day stop on the way to Carolina Beach. We got mountains and beach on this family vacation.

    Such a lovely cabin, stocked very well and very clean. The location was perfect and beautiful! The cabin has a hot tub, but can only be set at 101, enjoyable, but wish we could have set it at a higher temp as it felt like a warm bath. Otherwise, everything was great. Thank you!

    Everything was exactly as described and we enjoyed our stay very much. WiFi and television were excellent. Beds were very comfortable. Hot tub easy to use. Kitchen well stocked. Tap water is fantastic! What we really appreciate is the 11am checkout time. The new trend of 10am at most places is just too stressful for our family. We like to leave the place the way we found it. We came in the back way and that is quite a long and winding road. We recommend coming in from Banner Elk, even if GPS brings you in the back way when coming in from the north. Our only wish would be for more chairs at the fire pit-there were only 3. We will be staying here again.

    Love location and easy access to nature right out the front door! Only downside is that the hot tub temperature is regulated/ unable to go higher and was not warm enough for us to enjoy. Overall though a lovely cabin.

    The property was amazing, there was a lot of snow, so we didn’t get to do as much exploring as we wanted. But everything was perfect. The cabin was clean and beautiful. They even let us use their sleds. The cabin was very warm, despite the cold temps and heavy winds. We had a great stay. Definitely will be back in the spring/summer. And would like to try skiing again too, close to both Beech and Sugar.

    My family and I stayed here for the week after Christmas. I have stayed in a lot of fabulous B&B's, nice hotels, but this cabin was the best. I never longed for any of the comforts of home -- because they are all here! The couch and fireplace were very cozy. Good wifi and Roku apps on the TV. I cooked several nights and every cooking item you might need was available. Having a washer and dryer was super convenient. The hot tub was awesome. The water pressure in the shower was great and the beds were comfortable.I had a couple questions for the owners and they were super responsive and helpful! It even snowed while we were there! Quiet, secluded but only 20-30 from anywhere you want to be! Highly recommend!

    We enjoyed our weekend in Banner Elk. The cabin is basically just as photographed. We enjoyed the secluded woodsy feel. We were a bit worried about the conditions of the area after the hurricane, but wanted to be able to give back to the community with some tourists activities. We enjoyed walking around the property and seeing the waterfall, creeks, and pond. We had originally anticipated getting to fish some, but the conditions weren't ideal and and the streams are still very much in recovery. We enjoy WNC and will def be back across the mountain soon.

    We arrived late but took our time and had no issues because we followed Rebecca's directions. The cabin is clean and comfortable. The cabin had anything needed for staying in to prepare a meal and have fun with games or just watch a movie. During the day we explored the property and it's beautiful! Great place for kids to have adventures and lots of fun! The only negative (which if you like secluded it's great) was the distance to town (about 20 minutes) so go prepared to stay and enjoy all that this property has to offer!
